| (54) | Water storage tank |
| (57) Disclosed is a water storage tank (100) capable of preventing water from being discharged
through an air discharge path configured to facilitate the flow of water. The water
storage tank includes a tank body (200) including an inlet (P) and an outlet, a first
outlet pipe (300) provided in the outlet of the tank body such that one side of the
first outlet pipe is placed outside the tank body while the other side thereof is
placed inside the tank body, and a second outlet pipe (400) having one side connected
to the other side of the first outlet pipe such that air or water existing in the
tank body is discharged to the outside. Accordingly, the flow of water into the water
storage tank can be facilitated, water can be discharged by water inflow pressure,
and no water is discharged through an air discharge path when water stored in the
water storage tank is discharged by water inflow pressure, thereby obviate the mixing
of water from the outlet pipe with water from the air discharge path. Thus, water
having a temperature desired by a user can be provided.
